概述

背兵鲶(Brochis ephippifera)来自巴西阿马帕州,体背深色鞍状斑是显著外观。它与几种近缘斑点鱼相似,除背鳍外各鳍透明无斑可能是有用线索,仍需谨慎鉴别。

分布与栖息地

原生巴西东北部阿马帕州,模式地点为阿马帕里河右岸的卡舒埃拉溪。具体分布不宜仅由这一地点推成全州普遍存在。

饲养环境

铺细沙较理想,也可用圆滑而洁净的砾石。提供遮蔽,使群体有可退避的位置。

食性与喂食

杂食,可接受下沉干粮及小型活冷冻饵。直接投喂多样食谱,不依赖其他鱼的残饵。

习性与混养

性情温和,适合至少四至六尾成群。

雌雄区分

雌鱼通常更大,成熟后体形更圆,体高也较高。

补充说明

透明无斑的非背鳍特征与花尾兵鲶、德氏兵鲶等近似鱼形成对照,但不是忽略其他外观的理由。它能辅助呼吸空气,偶尔上浮吞气。搬动时须防胸鳍硬棘刺伤,棘基分泌物可能有轻微毒性。

Overview

A dark saddle-like mark characterizes Brochis ephippifera. Several related spotted catfishes resemble it, but transparent, unmarked fins other than the dorsal are suggested as a useful distinction.

Distribution & habitat

The species is native to Amapá in northeastern Brazil. Its type locality is Cachoera Creek on the right bank of the Amapari River; the precise extent of its range remains uncertain.

Aquarium setup

Fine sand is preferable, though clean rounded gravel can be used. Include sheltered areas for security.

Diet & feeding

Feed varied sinking prepared foods and small live or frozen items directly. This omnivore should not have to subsist on tankmate leftovers.

Behaviour & compatibility

A peaceful group of at least four to six accommodates its gregarious habits.

Sexual dimorphism

Mature females are generally larger, rounder, and deeper-bodied than males.

Notes

The unmarked fins provide a comparison with look-alikes such as B. agassizii and B. delphax, rather than a reason to disregard all other characters. Supplementary air breathing produces occasional surface visits. Pectoral spines can puncture skin, and secretions near their bases may be mildly toxic.
